Explorers discover a lost world with thick cloud and fogs trapped inside
The cave system was discovered in the Chongquing province of China by a team of cavers and photographers. Caver Robbie Shone, from Manchester, said a few of the caves had previously been used by nitrate miners but had not been properly explored.
The network, which includes ‘cloud Ladder Hall’ measuring around 51,000 metres squared, has water sources and vegetation of the floor.
Shone: “I had never seen anything quite like the inside cloud ladder before,”. Thick cloud and fogs hangs in the upper half of the cave, where it gets trapped and unable to escape through the small passage in the roof, 250m above the ground.”
